I decided to make the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (found on page 18.) I felt they would be the perfect balance between tart and sweet. I added a bit of the lemon curd to store bought whipped topping because we all love lemon flavor. As Carla puts it, the taste is “puckery!” What’s even better is that The Chew: An Essential Guide to Cooking and Entertaining doesn’t stop at recipes. Throughout the book, the fab five answers viewer questions, giving their insights on many of your culinary curiosities.

These pancakes sound delicious! I love lemon and I am really interested to see how the ricotta makes them taste, light and fluffy I bet! 🙂 I don’t entertain much, but I always like a good cook out in the Summer! It’s a great way to feed a lot of people, and you can grill almost anything!

The Chew sounds like an wonderful cookbook with important guidelines on cooking & my goodness I love that pancake so much right away. It looks so much delicious with those lemon whipped Cream topping over it. Would love to give it a try!

I don’t know that I have a go to entertaining trick or anything. The one thing I always do is serve freshly grated cheese with whatever our meal is. People always seem to think that is super impressive.

If I’m having people over and am in a pinch, I first recognize and understand that my guests ALSO know that I’m in a pinch!
I make sure to have plenty of drink options out and ready for my guests to choose from. I’ll do a quick cleaning-sweep, and turn on some nice music (plus put out a stack of different kinds of CDs). If I have time, I’ll try and run down to the little store up the street and get some fresh flowers. That always livens up the place and brings some extra cheer!

I always try to have a beverage table ready with various types of drinks…cold water, lemonade, tea, etc. arranged in different & fun containers, glasses, Ice, & napkins all arranged in easy to reach heights for all ages to access. It’s been my go to for many years.

Omgggggg I don’t know if I am happy I saw this post because now i know such a delicacy exists, or if I’m wishing I hadn’t because it is 1:30 am and there is no way I could even possibly try and make them for at least another 7 or 8 hours when the grocery store opens. Lemon and cheese are my 2 favorite things and this recipe is godly.
